our policy is that we only use boost if necessary, i.e., if the oldest
supported compiler does not support a given feature but boost
does. since we recently switched to GCC 4.4 or newer, std::shared_ptr
is available unconditionally.
The current implementations of IncompPropertiesInterface are very
all-or-nothing. In some situations, you want to read rock and fluid
properties from an Eclipse file, but use analytical functions for
the unsaturated properties. Or you want to update properties based
on a marching filter.
This patch provides a way to mix various property objects, or to
"shadow" the properties with a raw array of data, so you don't have
to reimplement the entire interface just to make a small change.
The numbers in the deck are more indicative of FIELD unit conventions
than METRIC unit conventions, so allow the input parser to interpret
the data in that manner.
